(Added Apr. 25, 2014, eff. Dec. 1, 2014.)
This rule is derived from former Rule 8015 and F.R.App.P. 40. It deletes the provision of former Rule 8015 regarding the time for appeal to the court of appeals because the matter is addressed by F.R.App.P. 6(b)(2)(A).
Changes Made After Publication and Comment. In subdivision (b), the reference to local rule was deleted as unnecessary.
